Reese's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

My father-in-law has a peanut butter sandwich every day for lunch so when his 86th birthday was this weekend I knew what kind of sweet I would be making him. We got to spend a nice weekend together at the beach. I used my usual go to chocolate cake recipe from www.hersheys.com. The chocolate/peanut butter combination was perfect.

Bake cupcakes for 15-18 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the cake part comes out clean. While cupcakes are cooling you can make the frosting.

In medium mixing bowl beat softened butter and peanut butter until combined. Add confectioners sugar and heavy cream and mix until desired consistency is reached. Add more heavy cream if necessary. Pour into piping bag and frost cupcakes as desired.

Make ganache by putting heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl and heating on high for 1 minute. Immediately stir in chocolate chips and stir until melted. Add 1 tbsp corn syrup and stir until smooth and shiny. Drizzle over top of cupcakes.
